I'm working through an ASP.NET tutorial in which the datasource is to be an Access .mdb (the famous Northwind db, to be precise). I'm instructed to configure the permissions the folder in which the northwind.mdb file is supposed to reside. The tutorial instructs me to browse to that folder, and right-click it and select "properties" and select the "security" tab-- but i don't have a Security tab. My user account is an administrator account, but just to test it, i logged is a "Administrator", but there was no change. Why do my folder properties not show a Security tab, and how do i change it so they do?
Access 97 and Access 2003 installed on his machine. If a scheduled task is set to open an access database at a certain time, it will do so using whatever version of access was last opened. Is there a way to force it to always use one or the other?
There are 4 accounts on the computer, all administrators. Of the 4, only one account has access to everything. The other 3 accounts all have Access Denied pop-ups when trying to open any file on the C: drive.
I tried rebooting in safe mode and logging in as administrator to see what the security settings where. After looking there I found out that all 4 accounts have full rights to all folders, sub folders, and files on the C: drive.
I was attempting to set permissions on my two NTFS formatted external harddrives and essentially deny users and guests the right to create/delete any files on the drive but I guess it somehow managed to restrict that right for EVERYONE. Not even in safe mode as the Adminstrator can I even look at the permissions and apparently it will not even allow me to open any files either. I cannot copy files to another drive and I cannot open or run any executables. Is there any way at all for me to reset the permissions for this particular drive or perhaps alter them to work the way that they rest of them work for me. I can't for the life of me understand how the Administrator cannot access the files on a folder and I don't exactly know what higher privileged user type exists. I really don't want to have to reformat the drive because it's got about 350 gigs of videos/music/programs.
I am trying to remotely access drives from my one computer to my laptop in order to transfer files with more ease than running back and forth, burning, copying, etc. The method I am using is simple enough. The drives are set for administrative share [c$, d$, etc]. And I am accessing through the run command via \REMOTE_IPc$. I am definately pinging the computer correctly because a dialog box opens, however this is where the problem begins. The dialog box does not let me switch to an administrative account. It only shows "Guest" in the login name.
I dont have the guest account even activated on my main Desktop CPU and I wont have much access without administative rights. I was just wondering what could be making it so that I cant login under my main administative name. My desktop is using WinXP pro. Laptop is using XP home. Not sure if this fact matters but the desktop is using internet connection sharing that is feeding a router, which in turn is giving wireless internet to my home network wherein my laptop is connected. Also, I can access remote desktop easily enough but even with disk drives shared they do not show up on the remote computers "My Computer" folder.
I accidentally set all permissions for one folder on my hard drive to deny. Now I completely lost all access to this folder even if I log in as administrator. I cannot change permissions either. When I click "Security" tab in "Folder Properties" window, an error message shows "You do not have permissions to view the current permission settings for <folder>, but you can make permission changes." However, when I tried to give "Full Control" to Administrator, another error message shows "Unable to save permission changes on <folder>. Access is denied"
I have a couple Desktop PC's and a notebook PC. Both run winXP and I have all setup in a workgroup called HOME. From the notebook, I can see the main desktop PC I want to access but whenever I try and open it, expand the tree, I get an error: "xxxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied."
But I have set the network sharing and security permissions on the c:drive on the desktop PC in question to allow for access and files to be changed by other users on the network. If I've set the permissions, and the computer appears on the list of network computers in the my network places on the notebook PC, why I am being told that I don't have access permission? Its feels like an XP bug or something...I can access my other PC on the network from the notebook PC just fine - add more network places from that PC on the notebook etc. But I cannot do this on the second desktop PC even with full access permissions granted.
I was reallocating them earlier... and something went terribly terribly wrong. (gremlins I say) I try to log into my user account, but it says it does not have access to any of the files (like the desktop, c:/docs and settings/username/desktop)So is there a way to fix this, preferrably an app that will be able to rewrite the file permissions tables on a large scale?
I cannot open folders on my computer. I can only Explore them. If I try to open them, I get an "Access is denied" alert. However, if I right-click and select Explore, all is good. I then usually drill down to get to the folder I want. But again, I cannot double-click on a folder that appears on the right pane in Explorer.
When I try to access my desktop from my laptop and desktop to laptop, I keep getting a message that says that I do not have access permissions to network resources. I set up my network, enabled file/printer sharing, and configured firewalls to allow the network. My network has been working fine for about a year now until just recently. (I didn't install anything new, and I keep both computers updated everyday.)
Last night I downloaded some window updates because it said it was recommended. Today I have had trouble trying to open things. For instance windows messenger, most things on my control panel, yahoo messenger,spider solitaire are just a few. Every time I get a message saying "Windows cannot access the specified device,path or file. You do not have the appropriate permissions" I also cant delete my browsing history. I havent a clue what to do. Im not a beginner in these matters but Im not very technical so please keep it simple in any explanation or instructions
I am trying to move files from my old XP computer (to be called OLD from now on) to my new Vista computer (to be called NEW) over my network. In some folders, there are some files that don't have the correct permissions for me to move them. I get this message on NEW when I try to copy them over: Destination Folder Access Denied You need permission to perform this action
The folder that these files are in on OLD has the correct permissions set, but for some reason some, not all, of the files within it have not inherited the correct permissions level. I can't figure out how to change the permissions level of these individual files. When I right-click on the problematic files in OLD, I do not see a Security tab.
I would like to configure a VPN between a office based file server and a mobile machine. Both m/c's are running versions of XP and logins have been set to allow the remote user to conncet as a properly authenticated member of group on the offoce m/c. Problem is I can't set the IP address for the remote machine to connect to. The office conection is via a dsl setup and I have been given an IP address for the internet connection by the ISP. After the ISP IP Address I expect to see a modem (which is also my internal LAN DHCP server) and the IP Address of the machine I wish to connect to. If my ISP has given me an IP address 200.200.1.100, my dsl modem is 192.168.1.255 and the machine I wish to connect to is 192.168.1.100 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 how does this translate to a VPN configuration?
I need assistance with seting up my Network Connection.I had my system set up so I can login to my computer for use at home with no network and a login for when I am connected to a network with a domain. Every thing worked fine until I had to reformat my drive and reinstall XP Pro.Now I believe I have set up my system incorrectly. currently my home login is set for a home workgroup which I do not want. And I can not set up the login for the domain.Please point me to a document or give me some step by step instructions.

I have a USB to SPDIF converter that is supposed to support 5.1 surround. I can hear stereo sound, but not 5.1 surround. I know there are many free tools that enable passthrough on spdif so the receiver does the dedcoding instead of the PC. However windows XP doesn't see the USB audio device as SPDIF is there a way to configure the USB audio device as SPDIF without drivers?
Can anyone point me to a good website or well-written book that will teach me about Installing Windows and configuring Windows Workgroups, Adding a computer to the system, Networking in this context in general.
For the last couple of months now, I've noticed that my system, which has operated flawlessly for almost 2 years, started doing strange things: SystemSuite 6 Pro - Uninstall goes thru the process of creating the uninstall database, resolves the links, then abruptly closes SS6. Ad-aware SE - used to run thru the first 45,000 files rapidly, and never spent any appreciable time with the file counter not moving.Now it gets to only 12-1500 files and the HD starts chruning and won't stop; have to kill the program with task manager.Word or Outlook Express - frequent intervals where I'm typing, but letters don't appear on screen until after a 10-15 sec. interlude like something is running and taking the full resources of the CPU.
Back about three weeks ago, in an effort to speed up my start-up on my computer, I ran Cleaner. It identified all the start up things. I went through one by one and disabled those that I had checked on a registry database. Unfortunately one of the first I disable was USERINIT.EXE.Now, as some of you may know, I can't login to my computer! I can power on, and try to log in, the windows attempts to load my preferences, and then logs out. Over the past several weeks, I have tried in vain to get some helpful suggestions on how to remedy the situation, but obviously my range of knowledge in dealing with this type of problem isn't strong enough to figure it all out. It was suggested by a friend that I just do a ffr, but quite frankly, I see that as a last ditch effort. I have files on the computer, that I really don't want to lose. And it seems that as I know what the problem is....there must be someway to fix it without going to the extreme. As my computer is 3-4 yrs old, my windows CD was only for SP1, and I don't think that would help....although I don't really know.
I would like to make a dynamic inventory of all of the programs installed on a number of computers...Basically I want to be able to open up a database, click on the computername, and it will tell me what programs are installed on that computer...maybe the database could be updated every night or something...This will save me a lot of bookkeeping and also help me to know which systems have old versions of applications, make it easier for licence expiration and new license keys
I had to hit the ole restore button and my computer bought me back to the beginning ( XPsp1). When I try to install SP2 I keep getting :" Unable to read or write to database" And then it said:" Service pack 2 did not complete" I also check the Microsoft website and i said I was getting a error code: 0x800710D9
Check it out, this website has over 16306 startup items listed in it's database and gives you in depth details about each file and if it is needed or not. I feel it's a valuable resource for the moderators and any user here at techguy.org. It also has a lot of other useful information as well. BTW, this is not advertisement. Just a reference guide for anyone here who wishes to continue their education with helping each other.
Each of my records has a person from a school. Each school from 1 to 9 people, thus from 1 to 9 records. I can sort by school name and manually check all the people from one school but I would like to automate the selection.I want to know how to create my master form so that I list each person from one school on one page, then automate the switch to a new list on a new page each time the school name changes.
Every time I try to install SP2 either from microsoft's web site or from a copy of the actual file, i get an error message that reads "cannot read or write to the database" and the install stops. It will go through everything except installing the program (i.e. check my key, check the system, backup files etc). What would cause this and how might I fix it? I'm running XP Pro.
I am just about to enrol on an mcse course so I am playing about creating user accounts and policies on my own computer, however while logged in as myself (administrator) I added XP/All Users to the security tab of C: and placed deny access to the drive. As now I am locked out of my own drive. I assumed as I am in an adminsitrative account this would not apply to me and now when i try access security tab from c:'s properties it wont allow me
Ok i got these stand alone pc's and i wont to lock them down to where you cant download toolbars instant message clients, take off the games under the accessories tab no access to the control panel no run icon. just to where it will be only work can be done on it. can you point me in the right directions. the machines im running are dell opitplex with windows xp home edition
We have a user that went to grant someone access to a folder on the network. They did this from there desktop, not the server, and now no one can access the folder. Not even an administrator login. I'm assuming they got the warning about changing permissions remotley, but he swears he didn't see anything like that. Now we have a couple of users that have icons that don't work because they're coming from that folder.Any way to change those permissions back? I know the permissions default to something.
The other day, I moved some files+folders outside of a folder just to organize things. I tried to put them back inside and I kept getting the "Cannot move file, it's being used.." error. I was pretty sure I wasn't using any of the files so I checked the permissions to find that under the security tab, inside the "Group or user name" was completely empty without any user names. I fixed it by adding my user name. This has happened before. A few months ago, I couldn't access any folders and files in this one particular folder without getting the "Acess denied" message. I found out that all my files and folders within that folder had no user names under the security tab which was a pain because I have over 100s of files in there and the only sure way to change the permission is to do them almost one by one.
I was wondering if there were any particular reason why it's doing this. I'm pretty sure that this computer is virus free and I almost never turn off the "Use simple file sharing" under the folder tool section. I've only played around with the permissions once over 5 months ago and I haven't touched it since. Also, is there a way to change every permission within one folder so that I won't have to do them manually one by one?
I have Fedora Core 6 and use KDE.Is there a way to see permissions by using the command line, so you can see the results of a "chmod" command? I know you can see permissions by right clicking the file in Konqueror.
I recently had a Windows XP HE crash that caused me to reinstall the application. Not thinking, I created a new domain name and user name for myself during the setup.
When I tried restoring my Microsoft Outlook 2003 files to my machine from a Novastor 7 backup, the files restored, but I only get "Access Denied" messages when I try to access them in any way. I'm assuming, because of the the old permissions.How I can regain access to them?
How to access *Advance file Permissions* on NTFS file systems for XP Home simply by booting into *Safe Mode*, rt-clicking any file or folder, and navigating to the *Security tab*. This gives the user the ability to allow or deny read, write, execute, read & write, display contents, full-control, iheritance, and take ownership permissions, with many more options available to apply to different users and groups stored on the computer.Well, you don't have to do this in *Safe Mode* (XP Home). Go to your command prompt - Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt. Now type "cacls" in the window (without the quotes). This gives you the ability to add, remove or modify file permissions on files and folders through the command prompt. Type "cacls /?" for help on different options and variables. You do not need to be in safe mode to use this so it makes it a little quicker than using the safe mode security tab GUI.Remember - this only applies to NTFS.WHY the system crashed ?(ie. faulty hardware/software/conflicts, etc)
